Vancouver PapOOses.

The natives of Nancouyer's Island arc
described by Mr. Stuart Cumberland as
superior to other tribes along the North
west coast. lie praises the beauty Of
some of the ehilden; but, owing to the
manner of living, this beauty fades early.
An Indian is old at thirty. Even the
children seem older than they really are,
because of the gravity they maintain.
Children, he says, like brown rabbits,
were squatting about on the ground, ap-
pea-ing to be, even at that carly age, too
solemn and taciturn to romp or indulge
in childlike games. When they saw me
approach, they were off as quick as rab-
bits to their holes, and now and then /
could catch them watching me with
large, black, wondering eyes from be-
hind a boat, tree stump, or a half
closed door.
Babies appeared to be plentiful, and,
unlike those in other places, they seemed
70 be both healthy and well nourished.
Their lungs we're certainly Of the strong
est, and their appetites were truly pro-
digious. An Indian baby will yell at the
slightest provoCatiOn--aEd for the mat
ter Of that, without provocation at all.
1t is also equally remarkable that a
''papoose" will eat, or endcayor to do 50,
anything he can lay his hands on. Once,
whilst was endeavoring 10 make myself
understood to a wrinklcd s1Uaw, velvet
eyed youngster, with deft fingers,
snatched cigarette ont OF my hand and
proceeded 10 devour il. At first he
seemed to like it, but he did not 20 on
long with the job, for with a mighty yell,
which would have startled anybody ex.
cept an Indian out Of his boots, and
which drove me out Of the room, he dis.
possessed himself Of his spoil, whilst
ile ancient dame proceeded TO fill heI
pipe with what remained.

The Rroom.Corn Harvest.

BENJAMIN Franklin was the most prac-
tical of men, and it is not unlikely that
the culture of broom-corn Sorghum gaL-
gar) in the United States is due to him.
1t is said that having had given to him a
short sprig of broom-con coming from
Africa, he found seed or two, and plant
ing these, first introduced this important
agricultural product. If the eonsump.
tion'of soap marks the development OF a
country, in a minor way it may be ad-
vanced that the cultivation of broom-cor
is an index ofits cleanliness. The whisk
brush is peculiarly an article of American
use, but the broom is in universal de-
mand. The Shakers, at the close of tho
last century, grew broom-corn, using its
product for their own wants, and began
the making of brooms as business about
1893. In Illinois the broom-corn harvest
is of great value. In certain portions of
that State, notably in Douglas and Coles
counties, not less than 5000 men find en-
ploymcnt in the broom-corn fields, en-
gagged in tabling, cutting, threshing, and
cliring the broom-corn. Experience has
shown that it is among the most remun-
erative OF the agricultural products of
the State. From statistics of the cost OF
raising the broom-corn, while manuring,
planting, cutting, and the preparation of
the product are estimated at $50 ton,
the selling price varies from S15 to 800,
according 10 quality. Broom-corn cul-
ture has made rapid strides in Illinois.
In 1883, according to the most carefully
prepared estimates, the total value of the
crop was s., 900, coo. For this year the
crop will probably be $50 900 tons, worth
something like $l1, 25O,UO0, the larger
proportion of the broom corn being grown
in the counties of Douglas, Coles, Cham
pagne, Henry, Mercer, and Knox.
Broom~corn requires fair soil, and,
according to locality, may be planted
from the middle of May to the beginning
of June. About 500 pounds OF broom
corn per acre is a fair yield. In the har-
vesting the stalks are first tabled, and by
that is meant the stalks are bent over
about three feet from the ground. Gut
tiers are next used, which cut of the tops
some eight inches below the brush. The
cut brush is then hauled from the fields
to the neighborhood of the sheds, where
the stalk is run through cylinders to take
out the seed. Then the brush is laid on
shelves in the sheds to cure, care being
taken, by means Of thin layers, to allow
the air perfect entrance. When the brush
is dry'it is baled Ike hay, and is then
ready for a market. The demand seems
to be a constant one, for never is there a
house built in the United States where
the first requirement is not broom

WOMAN'S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.


An amusing and interesting incident
occurred on the steamship Aller on Fri.
day. The steamship was nearing port
and one of the women cabin passengers
appeared in the dining saloon dressed in
the costliest lace. She confided to her
female friends that every article of dress
she wore was of lace, even to the gloves
and hose, and added that she would
wear lace boots if it wasn'tsO chilly. She
explained that one of her daughters is
shortly to be married, that the lace was
for her trousseau, and that inasmuch as
she personally wore it the customs regu-
lations could not take it from her. 1t is
estimated that the fair and matronly one
was drapedMith S., 900 worth of the lace.

There is great intensity of the physical
condition sometimes and there are facts
which we cannot go behind. In illustra-
ton further of facts which settle the points
Of prompt and permanent cure, the fol-
lowing cases are cited: In 1854 Mrs. Mary
X. Sheed suffered terribly with chronic
neuralgia. She writes from lll0 Maryland
Avenue, Washington, d, G. In the first in
stance she states: II suffered terribly with
neuralgia in the face; very severe attack
extending to back and shoulders; Suffered
intensely. Tried st. Jacobs Oil had parts
well rubbed at night; in the morning gil
pain gone, magically.o June 10, 1887, she
writes from 224 Eleventh Street, s. W., as
follows: "Four years ago / sent YOU vol.
untary certificate setting forth the fact that
had been great sufferer with neuralgia in
my face, neck and shoulders. ! obtained
bottle Of St. Jacobs Oil, and after three ap.
pain, and from that time to the present /
have never had return. The effect was
miraculous" Again, Feb, o, 1857, Mr.. X.
G. Troll, St. Louis, Mo-, writes: I'm March,
1881, / suffered terribly with neuralgia; had
suffered nearly three years. Applied st.
Jacobs Oil at SIS A. NJ. at $40 took the
rag off; at 8 A. NJ. went TO work. In less
than five minutes after that the pain was
gone. The one application cured me. Have

Spangler, York, Pa, June II, 1887, writes:

IL now. The cure by the use Of st. Jacobs
Oil was permanent There has been no re-
currence of the painful afIliction." Chas.
w. Law, Jr., Pottstown, Pa, April 10, 1887,
writes: "Was troubled for years with rieu-
ralgia in neck and head. Tried ST. Jacobs
Oil; had tried different kinds Of remedies
without effect. One bottle of the former did the
business. No return Of pain and aches" In
almost every instance the reports are thesame.
